There are many different awareness walks and conventions that take place around Oklahoma City throughout the year. This May 5th, is the PieceWalk and 5k marathon put on by the good people at www.autismoklahoma.org.

The reason that this walk is so different from many of the others is that it is local. This group is one that works to make sure that all of the money they raise is directly given to help families with autistic families in Oklahoma, and one hundred percent of the money raised stays in Oklahoma to benefit families here. In fact, the walks for the last two years have helped to provide funding to programs that have benefitted families all throughout the state. There have been close to $87,500 worth of grants awarded in the last two years alone. Read more...(437 words, estimated 1:45 mins reading time)

Do you love Disney? If you’re like me, some of your earliest childhood memories include watching Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, and Dumbo. If you’ve got kids, you’ve probably introduced them to Belle, Mulan, and, of course, Mickey Mouse. Disney fans of all ages will love the Disney exhibit currently being displayed at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

Entitled “A Century of Magic: The Animation of the Walt Disney Studios,” this exhibit is made up of over 80 animation cels. The cels come from the private collection of Janis and Domer “Jay” Scaramucci. It opened March 3 and will be on display through September 16.
